Charles Palmer

Charles Palmer and the Beginning: In 1814, British officer Charles Palmer returned home from the Napoleonic Wars and acquired Château Margaux, an estate that would form the basis of his wine craft. Thus was laid the foundation for what is now known as Château Palmer. George Gennadius and innovation: After Charles Palmer's death in 1836, George Gennadius took over ownership of the winery. He introduced innovative techniques such as selective harvesting and thermoregulation that put Château Palmer on the map as a pioneer in winemaking. Fame and Recognition: Château Palmer quickly became synonymous with quality and elegance. Its wines achieved international fame and ranked among the finest of Bordeaux. A legacy that continues to flourish today. Modern Era and Sustainability: Today, Château Palmer is owned by a group of investors, led by CEO and Technical Director, Thomas Duroux. Under his leadership, the winery has strengthened its commitment to sustainability and respect for the terroir that is essential to the wine's unique character. Vineyards and Terroir: Château Palmer extends over approximately 55 hectares of vineyards where Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Petit Verdot thrive. Margaux's unique terroir, soil and climate are the cornerstone of the wines, which exude complexity, finesse and inimitable character. Grand Vin and "Alter Ego de Palmer": Château Palmer produces not only the legendary Grand Vin, but also the "Alter Ego de Palmer". Both wines epitomize finesse, depth and the ability to age gracefully.

Château Palmer doesn't just remain a winery; it is a story of dedication and a tribute to the art of wine. With each bottle, we open a portal to the past and a taste of the terroir that has stood the test of time. A journey through the history of Château Palmer is a journey through the taste of passion, tradition and exceptional winemaking.

Wine style in Bordeaux

Bordeaux, one of the world's most famous wine regions, is known for its diversity in wine production. The region is divided into several sub-regions, each with its own unique terroir and microclimate, contributing to different styles of wine. Here is an overview of the general wine style in Bordeaux: Blends of grape varieties: Bordeaux is known for its red wines, which are often blended from several grape varieties. The primary grapes are Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec. The exact blend varies depending on the sub-region and vineyard.   High Quality and Aging Potential: Bordeaux wines are known for their ability to age and develop complexity over time. Many Bordeaux wines, especially Grand Cru classified, are created with a long-term perspective and can improve significantly with ageing. Terroir: Terroir, which refers to the combination of soil, climate and topography, plays a crucial role in the Bordeaux wine style. The vineyards along the Garonne River often have gravelly and calcareous soils that contribute to the complexity and structure of the wine. High tannin structure: Many Bordeaux wines are known for their distinctive tannic structure, especially those based on Cabernet Sauvignon. This gives wines a solid backbone and the ability to mature over time. Margaux (Elegance): Margaux, one of the most important sub-regions of Bordeaux, is known for producing wines that are elegant and feminine. Margaux wines often have softer tannins and complex aromas of red fruits, flowers and cedar. Pauillac (Power and Fullness): Pauillac, home to some of the most famous châteaux such as Château Lafite Rothschild and Château Latour, is known for powerful, full-bodied wines. They often have intense black fruits, licorice and robust tannins. Saint-Émilion and Pomerol (Merlot dominated): In these areas, Merlot plays a bigger role, resulting in wines with softer tannins and richness. Saint-Émilion wines are known for their complexity and fruity character, while Pomerol wines are known for their silky texture and concentration. Sauternes (Sweet White Wine): Sauternes produces some of the world's most recognized sweet white wines. These wines are made from Semillon, Sauvignon Blanc and Muscadelle grapes affected by noble rot (Botrytis cinerea), giving complex flavor profiles with notes of honey, apricot and spice.
